Cecilia M's Bio

The LumaTwist is a fun light. We used it as a campfire when fires were banned due to the dry hot summer. It is awesome for playing cards at base camp. It is easy to adjust the light direction and the battery life is pretty long. The only way i would not recommend it to someone is if they were backpacking or had other space concerns since the LumaTwist is a little larger than some of the other lanterns.

I agree with the other reviewer that the fit is snugger than usual. However, it is really cozy, soft, and warm. So i plan on using this for a warm layer on cold days and it will do the job spectacularly.

I run ~5ks in innov-8s. I don't have any pain or problems with the minimalist bottom package. I love the bright colors. I think it makes you run faster. They are the lightest shoes i have run in, while still being well put together (great toe cap).

The Havocs are my go to shoe for hiking, approach, and general crappy weather time shoe. The Havoc is super supportive and keeps my feet dry at all times. The material color is brighter than you would think, but i like that. They clean easily after a weekend of muddy terrain too.

These boots are extremely comfortable and warm. Many stylish winter boots are made only for women with stick legs, and these are not. My "athletic calves" fit great in these. The side zippers are beefy enough. These boots work equally well with skirts or jeans.

This jersey is breathable, wicking, and soft against the skin. The cut is good (not baggy or super tight). The zipper unzips down a lot more than you would expect, which is great for hot days. Lots of mesh in the back to keep you drier.

These boots took 2+ lbs off of my husband's backcountry set up. You might think that because they're light, the construction might be weak or the boots would not be warm enough. Actually, ThirtyTwo did a really good job; they are warm and very well made. Also, these are not floppy boots; they're super supportive.

Perfect footwear to bring on yurt trips. When you need to take your ski or snowboard boots off after a day in the backcountry, slip these bad boys on. My husband took them on a recent yurt trip and wore them to walk to the outhouse, split wood, and do some target practice. The booties kept him warm and dry.

This Ortovox pack has a TON of pockets and places to put your gear. i haven't figured out the optimal way to pack it yet since the biggest compartment is accessed via the inside (faces your back) rather than the outside. I have the largest BD shovel and i have to take the handle all the way off to fit it in the pack, but if your shovel is normal backcountry shovel sized, you should not have a problem. It was not intuitive how to strap on a snowboard, but this pack comes with lots of straps and a handy helmet holdernet. The pack is made of heavy duty material. i am not worried about snagging it on anything. The fit is great. Well constructed.
